Back in the saddle

Last week the county fair was in full-swing, so naturally we packed up the kids and headed out to over-indulge in greasy food {my once-a-year corndog}, visit some farm animals and take in a few rides. {With the help of my mom, ensuring a one to one ratio between kids and adults.}

Henry was thrilled to hop back on the saddle again and take “his” horse for a spin.

Alex and I were thrilled at the opportunity to see how Charlie did around horses. {We have been eagerly awaiting the day for him to start hippotherapy – basically physical therapy by means of horseback-riding.}

Charlie wasn’t so thrilled.

Guess we’ll put horse therapy on the back-burner.

And yes, Alex didn’t disappoint. He was sporting the “corporate dad” look, wearing a tie to the fair. Again. But in his defense it was in the middle of a work day and he was going back to the office. {And yes, I’ll pay for that photo.}

Henry and I hit the kiddie midway for a few rides. Our first was the “Wild Worm,” which was a bit reminiscent of last year’s ride. But it’s the photos from this year that frighten me.

Seriously – who thought this should be the face for the kiddie rollercoaster? But it was a wild ride…

Two hours and we had our fill – that is after Henry had “won” {bought} a large obnoxious inflatable plastic toy that could only have come from the fair. Only one more year until we get to do it all again. {I think my lack of fair enthusiasm this year was the result of both new-mom exhaustion and nervous-nelly worries about germs. I think we used an entire bottle of hand sanitizer.}

{Yes, William was with us, but he napped happily in the Bob while the rest of us enjoyed the festivities. Darn carnies said he was too short for the rides.}

Hello!

My name is Libby and this is my space to share all of the things I love. Our beautiful family, motherhood, raising three boys and a baby girl, my faith and whatever else comes to mind. I guess you could say that this is our family story. A story of life and love. A life blessed with some tears, mostly laughter and an abundance of grace.
